       Sorry, I guess I don't really understand call_function()...

       Are builtin functions that aren't recognized by the server going to be
       converted into call_function() calls by set_verb_code() too?  Or just
       when it boots the database?  I wasn't talking about the portability of
       an entire database, I was talking about the portability of one
       individual object.  If unknown builtin functions are switched to
       call_function() calls by set_verb_code() too, with only a warning saying
       that it doesn't know that function, then forget my ranting.

    I would find this to be a bad idea---sometimes I misspell builtins
    when creating verbs.  It's nice to have this caught at "compile time"
    rather than waiting til later during execution.  Though I suppose it's
    no worse than misspelling variable names and I could cope if this
    change were made.
